| today i had been following this red MPS hatch mazda, he had been doing burnouts and all sorts... so when i came up next to him at the traffic lights, i decided to give him a little race.. now to my knowledge the MPS are turbod and running about 170kw from memory.. so lights went green, i floored it, he floored, but i was about 5 metres behind him and couldnt catch up to him....he wasnt getting away but nor was i getting closer.. i was under the impression soarers are running 204kws stock?.. he didnt have an exhaust not sure under the hood but if he is running stock and im running pretty much stock so surely the soarer would win? but i suppose an older car vs a newer one im sure his would be in perfect nick under the bonnet however mine is older and has a few k's on it |

| take into mind Yours weighs 1600kg, his weighs 1200kg, BIG difference. Soarers are 206KW stock at the flywheel, at the wheels its roughly 150 at the rear wheels Take into account the MPS is 190KW at the fly, its not a huge difference lol. Basically its all down to weight |

| Ty, the MPS3 hatch runs a low 14 from the factory . If your Soarer is stock, it would maybe run 14.5-14.8 ish . This would explain why he pulled on you, but then you kept constant with him . Basically ..... " you never had him, you never had your car either" ;) Oh, and keep the racing on the track aye, not the streets . |

| fwd cars lose less power. so the mps probably has 170+kw at the wheels. besides theyre ment to get upto a 100 in less than 6 seconds. and ofcourse they weight all. still wouldnt have one, ugly as and its a mazda |

| Those MPS3's are meant to be pretty bloody quick from a roll too. Stock for stock, they make more peak torque than a 1JZGTE. |

| Ty, get to a track and record an actual number. Soarers are good for their age but a lot of new stuff is very quick straight from the factory floor |

| Ty, as at one stage i was quite keen on getting a mps3 i kept a keen eye on one last time i was at a street meet, they as Daniel said run a low 14 stock and i even saw a 13.9 produced on the night. they are quick stock though id doubt youd get one into the twelves to cheaply. Spend a few k on yours and reel him in |

| need more boost and less weight. you can save around 25kg with bucket seats, 15kg with bonnet and more with back seat out, boot trim and spare wheel etc.. the difference is like after you drive it by yourself then a fairly large mate gets in and you feel the difference. but all depends on what you want to do with the car. that mazda is around same weight as an s15 and if you have ever driven one of them you will know that with the less weight the car is totally different to drive. |

| i have the printouts of some performance testing with my V8 when i first got it, and also with the other car i had then a 1L turbo smart car up to 120km/h the smart car was faster than a totally stock V8 soarer.... luckily for me the constant flogging of the soarer and removing some mufflers finally made the damn thing almost a second faster to 120km/h than a smart car.... yes the car smaller than your lounge... which is still faster if you dont take into account the gear shift times (as that was an automated manual and shifted really slow... 1.4sec in fact :|) anyway skylines are the commodores of jap cars, they are and every arsehole has one, and the two r34's i saw yesterday look so dated my 91 soarer looks like its a more recent model LOL |
